she's claiming that him referring to a "centrist clique" is an insult and refusing to engage with him because of that

reading comprehension's really not that hard if you put a bit of effort into it

Thanks for your help as ever, I can't read twitters to save my life. Clique and accusations of left and right in these contexts are insults though arent they and she doesnt seem to refuse to engage with him given that they continue the conversation. It'd be nicer to converse with you if you could bring your self to not be rude to me though.

Wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma


Did you know that in South Africa, the word 'pedo' isn't actually a reference to pedophilia, but more like local slang for 'rear end in a top hat guy'? No? Well according to local boy Elon Musk ...

quote:

Elon Musk is continuing to try to wriggle his way out of a defamation lawsuit, claiming in a court filing on Monday that a tweet labeling a British diver “pedo guy” was not meant to actually accuse him of pedophilia.

The Tesla CEO is being sued over comments made in 2018 about Vernon Unsworth, a diver who helped rescue a team of young soccer players stuck in an underwater cave.

At the time Unsworth had criticized Musk’s plans to rescue the soccer players using a mini submarine, calling it a “stunt” and telling him to “stick his submarine where it hurts”. Musk responded with a series of erratic tweets calling Unsworth a “pedo guy”. He later called him a “child rapist” in emails to a BuzzFeed reporter.

Musk’s lawyers have argued these statements were simply insults, not accusations. They reiterated that on Monday, saying “pedo guy” was a common insult used when Musk was a child in South Africa and is not meant to “accuse a person of acts of pedophilia”.

^^^3posts up^^^ sorry I just don't see that tweet thread as the slamdunk against her that other people seem to. But thats always the way with tweets for me I think.I think I'm immune to them or something. Its like when rachel riley has her 5 pages of antisemitic tweets and I can't see a single thing shes talking about.

I was sat in a tesla the other day in the showroom and one thing that is certain is that if that submarine was made by the same guys as handled the panel gaps on their cars, anyone inside it would have been very drowned.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
The problem as I see it is that she avoids talking about any of the substance of his argument, because she’s unable to come up with an actual rebuttal, in favour of what really feels like mock offence to draw eyes away from his point.

Based on the article not only is he not apologising he's using his legal team to continue to call the guy a child molester. Basically "calling someone a pedo isn't actually calling them them a pedo but we investigated him and we heard that he totally actually is a pedo".

But I'm pretty sure its actually Elon Musk who is the pedo (for whatever arbitrary definition of the word Elon Musk has come up with).

The problem being Musk was already caught trying to expound on it, including straight up accusing the diver of moving to Thailand to take a child bride, and hiring a PI (who apparently ripped Musk off) to prove such.

He's a moron to think this explanation will fly.
